Per a WGAL analysis, 40% of Specter’s staff also falls “below minimum wage” applying his same math to his own campaign. This is a false premise, just another smear from the Specter smear machine.Specter assumed a 40hr work week, even for staff members who work part time, just as many of Specter's do. These tactic's prove that he is very much a Republican. One of our local news stations recently researched Specter’s claims about Sestak’s “minimum wage” workers, none of whom are on food stamps.

Yes, you need to make enough to live. But if you measure "respect" in terms of "paycheck," you're not using the appropriate yardstick. If Corbett were to get elected governor, and Specter were to die in office, presumably we get Toomey handed to us on a plate, whether or not we voted for him. By the numbers (the percentage scores from various conservative groups) Toomey, despite his mild demeanor, is well to the right of Santorum. I didn't like Santorum. Sestak is slightly more liberal on two (arguably three?) issues, and slightly more conservative on one, than Specter. On the issues, he's precisely as electable as Specter, minus the political baggage. As for Specter, his ever-rising negatives are now topping 50% in practically every poll. I see no benefit to a primary win if it gives away the general election.

And Sestak has indeed "worked hard" - on behalf of lawbreaking labor union chieftains and racketeers like Wendell Young IV. The "real Joe Sestak" is the one currently being probed by federal authorities - a mendacious, deceitful, self-serving charlatan. The "real Joe Sestak" has no respect for the law or for the rights of others. The "real Joe Sestak" is a criminal wrongdoer hiding behind the veneer of a progressive.
